All In (The Blackstone Affair, #2) by Raine Miller

4 to 4.5 Stars… overall 4.25

… Quotes to come…

I’m going to go against my book club and rate All In an above 4 star book. I thought All In was an overall pleasant and delightful read.

Book 1, Naked left off on a major cliff-hanger, my review HERE

In full disclosure, yes, All In does have a cliff-hanger ending, however, it’s a closed one and I’m okay with it (which is good considering book 3 doesn’t come out until 6 weeks later!)

If you haven’t read the series, I suggest you wait, considering each book so far has been fairly short.

All In is from Ethan’s POV! Yes, I LOVE the male’s prospective and yes, I am happy to read from Ethan’s POV! I am glad I did pick up Naked and Miller will be one of the authors I watch out for.

All In picks right up where Naked left off and I think to myself, what does Ethan do to win Brynne back? Will there be a lot of tension? Will Brynne act kind of mean? Well, first off, Ethan struggles in the beginning of the book and we kind of get a glimpse of how much he feels towards Brynne and I’ve read the reviews, this is a compliant for some people, but I really enjoyed those parts.

Ethan messed up! I am glad he is distraught and yes it’s a little over-the-top at times, but I love those in my reads!

Brynne doesn’t act annoying and both characters are all around interesting and somewhat level headed. Of course there’s tension and banter. We start to see external characters, like ex’s and family members and thank you for that because it just builds up the story. I am also happy that All In is slightly longer than the first book.

I like Ethan. I wouldn’t put him on my list of book boyfriends...yet, but he does have all the qualities I look for in one (except for the goatee).

I love me a successful, dominate, alpha, possessive, insanely jealous, yet slightly damaged Hero. Please BRING.HIM.ON! We do get to know Ethan a bit more, but not everything is reveled, and that is a good thing, it just means book 3 will still be as dramatic.

All In isn’t for everyone. I think there are a few issues that kind of turn off some people, but I’m an avid reader and when I see potential, I respect it and encourage it. I still have hope for Miller and I will be looking forward to book 3, Eyes Wide Open

Naked (The Blackstone Affair, #1) by Raine Miller

4 Stars

Even with me the way I am, Ethan?

The way you are is perfect to me.

Naked was a VERY nice read and gave me my dominate alpha male fix!

Brynne Bennett is an American model and student. Ethan Blackstone is ubber rich, successful business man who purchases one of Brynne’s photographs, where she poses nude in. Brynne is hesitant, due to past issues, but Ethan refuses to accept anything, but yes and determinedly pursues her.

I liked Naked because I am sucker for steamy reads, domineering men and a “damsel-in-distress” story line.

On with the review…

Naked was a nice read and yes at times the dialogue was a bit choppy. I was okay with Brynne and Ethan moving quickly considering the read is very short, but sometimes it felt rushed, like I jumped from point A to D without even going through parts B and C.

I liked how Brynne pushed Ethan away at the beginning and the banter was good. Brynne has a past and we don’t really know what happened, but something that makes her guarded and this I like because it adds a little something to the story.

Oh my Ethan, who wouldn’t like Ethan? He has all the qualities of a sexy Hero and I’m looking forward to seeing the other side of Ethan in book two. I want to know what makes him who he is and what pains he went through.

Cliff-Hanger Ending… oh my! I knew there would be a cliff-hanger, but I did.not.see that BOMB! Whoa, how epic and awesome!

On to book 2 with All In
